WALDORF/STEINER EDUCATION

Panjee and moms here,

Fear is natural for those who need more information on the unknown.

I’ve enrolled my 13 yr old daughter whom I’ve homeschooled since she was a toddler except for two years at Manresa (Prep & unfinished-1st Grade). From her mother’s womb to being a toddler, I focused on showering her with love and sending positive thoughts/words. As she turned 3, I started the basics and showed her the world, knowing God and being a good child while she’s enjoying being one.

Preschool years were homeschool. I followed the ‘spirit’ in her and lead her through. I showed her the world but kept her shielded from the unfavorable influences so that her accumulated memories are mostly positive.

A week ago, I enrolled her at Kolisko Waldorf as I found her ‘character foundation’ strong enough to face the world without me but with teachers who follow the same thinking process as mine in raising children. I find the system fitted for her as well.

We both will see if it truly is as we go through the daily learnings…together still.

I fear more traditional schools because children tend to be misguided and led to wrong ways which will become permanent fixtures in their character.

Following the Ways of Jesus has also been the foundation of my child’s development plus being a good model to her.

Sharing with you all my good news.

By the way, I’m a solo daddio to my Angel since she was 2.5 yrs of age. She’s very much a girl and very lovely and pure in every way. It’s me and her ‘against the world’. 🙂

Dear Panjee,

Congratulations, for the great mommy moments you make and the passion you have for the kids! My husband and I feel that there is no nobler role than to be parents who make sure that children become not just successful individually but one who relates well to the upkeep of the society in due time. Family is indeed the basic unit of society, if we start from our own backyard then we are doing our share in providing a better world for all. And of course, parenting is just THE most fulfilling time in our life, c’mon! 🙂

Still hoping that there would be a Waldorf education in the Makati area. I just visited the Waldorf website and saw that there is a Makati-Waldorf school bus, and we “might” just be willing to give it a try. Am worried though about the strain it will make to our child.

OB Montessori in Sta Ana is the next best option for us because of the proximity and the approach. Another is home school (Bo Sanchez’ Filipino Academy). Hope to hear fellow parents’ feedback, direct messages to our email willandkay@gmail.com would be appreciated as well.

Thanks again and we salute you and the parents in this forum for enjoying parenthood! A happy home and healthy connection to our children are indeed the strongest foundation that we can give our kids.

Hi! I’m a DAD 😉 i’m seriously considering transferring my kids from CSA Makati to Waldorf – they’re grades 2 and 5 this year. I think adjustment from a traditional to a non-traditional curriculum wouldn’t be difficult for them (I hope). It’s actually more on me and especially my wife who is actually not that open in making that leap of faith of sorts. I’m an alumnus of CSA and I saw how things are much different now in terms of the quality of teachers (what’s the use of a good curriculum if the teachers don’t have the passion for teaching and don’t have the “malasakit” for the kids to inspire them to study and learn?). Anyway, what I actually need is to address my ‘jitters’ and I guess my wife too – an assurance of sorts that we are making a good decision. Thanks Panjee! – Daddy Al

thank you for your very quick reply panjee, i added myself to the site of st mikaels 🙂 & I look forward to those upcoming activities soon. Thank you again!!!!! ❤

Hi Panjee,

We are considering moving our 7th grade son to another school next year. Is there a scheduled open house or orientation at acacia Waldorf where we can get first hand information about the school?
